no point for LT 1.9
NEW XGD3 format will make all backups obsolete
not to mention the fact that there is suspicion that all previous games (you can say since fifa 10) have had dorment AP2.5 checks i.e. the next dahboard update (in theory) that will accompany the XGD3 update will render all games useless and result in a reburn (this is mere speculation but many people in the scene have analyzed and concluded this i.e. this theory is HIGHLY likely to occur and knowing MS they will) / not to scare anyone but a big update such as the upcoming XGD3 will result in some banning / then again its completely random. In addtion, the XGD3 update will wipe your flashed drives, returning them to stock firmare, so please keep this in mind (ie. it will kill your
"ta3deeleh" ) - please not also that the XGD3 update is NOT out yet, but please when it is don't rush and go out and update.
As for the banning its very hard to tell, some people get off lucky, others don't, and yes they are serious about it i.e. your 360 will NOT connect to Live ever again.
However now in this case, if you are itching to get back on Live then go ahead and take the 25$ plunge
... this reminds me that i should finish the damn 360 modding FAQ
